Ultrafast Glass Cutting: Discover the Power of Picosecond Laser Cutting

Ultrafast glass cutting samples 1

Tired of chipped edges, low yields, or poor results with ultra-thin or reinforced glass?
Our next-generation Picosecond Laser Glass Cutting Machine is engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional mechanical and thermal cutting—delivering unmatched precision, efficiency, and yield.


The Problem: Traditional Glass Cutting Can’t Keep Up

Mechanical cutting and standard laser methods fall short in today’s advanced manufacturing:

  • Edge chipping and micro-cracks
  • Low success rates with chemically strengthened or ultra-thin glass
  • Inability to process complex shapes with micron-level precision

These issues mean high scrap rates, slow output, and rising costs—especially in consumer electronics, automotive displays, foldable screens, and microfluidic chips.

The Solution: Hybrid Picosecond + CO₂ Laser Cutting Technology

Our system combines ultrafast picosecond laser “cold cutting” with CO₂ thermal stress-assisted separation. This patented dual-laser approach ensures:

  • Zero thermal damage during material modification
  • Controlled, clean breakage along the modified line
  • High-precision edge quality with minimal roughness (<0.5μm)

How does it work?

  1. Picosecond Laser delivers ultrashort pulses (<10ps) that modify the glass structure with no heat-affected zone.
  2. CO₂ Laser applies localized heating, inducing controlled thermal stress that cleanly splits the glass along the modified path.

This synergy delivers mirror-like edges, no taper, and perfect verticality—even on tough materials like Gorilla Glass or sapphire.
